The All-Mighty Allah created human beings in a way that they can only find peace after they become a believer. Allah explains that truth in the Qur’an as:

So set your face firmly towards the religion, as a pure natural believer, Allah’s natural pattern on which He made mankind… (Surat ar-Rum, 30)

Those who have faith and whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of Allah. Only in the remembrance of Allah can the heart find peace.’ (Surat ar-Ra’d, 28)
